When you start strong-arming people, expect them to push you back sooner or later. I say we make Donald Trump pay for the wall, and we have many ways of making his life miserable to make sure he does it. 1) Revoke his citizenship. 2) Make I

Well if you publish these cases online the hospital will lose substantial business. So it's like a canary. At least you are getting information about what's going wrong, and then you can put pressure on the management to fix it vi

You could pass a law to prevent or limit the amount that can be sued for negligence. It's I believe the case in Canada.

I know the bar is pretty high in terms of what is passable as a programmer that works actual gigs. It's higher than a lot of other professions, where credentials mean more than actual performance and you can fudge/bs your way out

Learn to code. Coding is a horrible profession from many perspectives. Many people have tried and failed to do it as a full time job. Many people who do it don't do it well.

I very much think Trump is the exact same way. He knows a lot of business and his business, but he knows absolutely nothing about governance. That's not necessarily because he's a bad person, but because he's an extrovert and

Correlation also does not not imply causation, that's a fallacy. Correlation is simply evidence for causation, not undeniable evidence or definitive evidence but some evidence nonetheless.

Does not mean it won't get there or close. It's quadrupled since 1999. The exception would be North Korea which might prove that ideology and Imperialism, the current government is actually a remnant of Japanese Imperialism, can

The people with high intelligence, say 100 average IQ, Chinese for instance recovered just fine. The people who could not adapt were the less smart ones and their history was problematic long before imperialism came. Imperialism was just th

Not the real difference. Too bad most Muslims don't know their history well enough to understand how the Shia empire was first established and why.

Yeah I don't know how the whole thing progressed. But it's a fine line and I guess he crossed it.

I really don't understand the environment around sex and relationships in the work place. It's messed up. Someone should be able to express interest and the other person should be able to refuse it. Simple as that. But instead the

Yeah I actually don't think the human brain accounts very well for time. Like despite a decade has passed I don't feel as if time has moved very much for me. Despite the fact that people age, it does not seem an inbuilt thing to r

I never did advocate that. I don't think the US should be isolationist. I think the US should take a leadership role, but it should be multilateral and it should respect the rights of other country's citizens, rather than focusing

Strong evidence where written by whom? Do I want more war, no I don't. But I also don't support hegemony. Most of Islamic fundamentalism would not be possible with the Saudis and the Saudis would not be possible without the US. Is

Good unilateralism is a stupid idea. May they all succeed and distribute power far and wide.

well with mp3 files the meta data is in the file, it's called an id3 tag. for other files, depends on the file.

by x5n1 10y ago
no not virtual filesystem, i meant querying your files by date or tag... find, grep and something to print the tag would do the job.

They already do this is a more ethical way. Planned obsolesce and all of that. They know it's going to fail in 10 years when they sell it to you with a 5 year lease. Windows has bugs and they will fix some of them in the next release f

Why not both? It's an arms race. Why not supply both sides?

Would it make you feel better if they had a subsidiary do it under a different name and you didn't know. Or even a different company do it? It's all the same economy stupid. You have a problem with the basic assumptions and ethics

What does this bring together mean? At the end power is distributive and a zero sum game. Power can never be truly distributed because there is a limited amount of it. Therefore we really can't come together. That's what love is b

If people are bringing laptops and cell phones and are on them in your meeting, you are not really having a meeting with them. They are there, but they are not there.

Which drugs are produced by startups? As far as I know most drugs are produced by massive incumbents. The cost and the regulation is too much to do anything else. And as far as I know those incumbents are not turning their researchers that

Then why not make any scientist who discovers any very important drug or therapy into a billionaire. If they are motivated the same way corporations are, then that should super motivate them produce more drugs faster. In fact why don't

by x5n1 10y ago
Scientists are not profit motivated. Scientists don't work to produce more drugs faster just because the CEO is managing better. This is definitely something that can be funded by the public and should be funded completely by the publi

It should be priced according to ability to pay based on income. The same is the reasoning why the drug is so cheap in other countries, their people can't possibly afford the prices. So it makes no sense for citizens of wealthy countri
